    Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player

    • but once I took a look at the remote and worked it a bit, I found it was rather intuitive and pretty straightforward
    • After doing a bit of research and pulling my head out of my behind,i actually got it hooked up properly,I let the funky hook up mess w/me a bit to where integration was a major brain fart on my end,I hooked it up w/HDMI as video input,and a bitstream/coax cable for sound,this allows for more sound to be opened up above an HDMI,,you get PCM as well going this route,which does make a noticable difference in sound
    • With the Ghost Busters dvd it was a bit odd to see the movie quality being closer to a home video than to the filtered artificial prettiness of movies that we were used to
    • I kept thinking that this must just be a software issue, which would be fixed with an update, but NO, it hasn't improved one bit.
    • At this time only higher end sets, like Samsung's SUHD line for example, and sets specifically labeled as being "HDR", have 10 bit panels and full support for Wide Color Gamut and 10-bit HDR
    • , that leads me to my second and major issue, it freezes up quite a bit, esp
    • Netflix works fine but it is a bit of a chore to get there after starting up the unit and I worry that using the unit for Netflix a lot will put strain on the unit over time (maybe Roku or Fire tick is best for this?
    • I did pay 217.00 for my Blu-ray in September, to see it at 149.00 hurts a bit
    • , that leads me to my second and major issue, it freezes up quite a bit, esp
    • I think it is a bit crazy that their camcorders (which get thrown around and constantly traveled with) have a 2-year warranty, but a stackable piece of electronics that never moves is only 1 year
    • To get the best results with this player you have to use this player with a 4K HDR compatible TV with a 10 bit display panel and full support for both HDR10 and 10-bit Wide Color Gamut inputs
    • It takes up quite a bit of space as well, unlike the older Blu Ray players
    • I it easily works with my TV and AMP
